Testimonials
Pretty solid staff, however I went to grooming for a walk-in nail clipping/buffing and I guess due to low staffing or maybe not having the time I was told my paperwork wasn’t right to show my puppy had her shots, I went a few miles over to north haven, gave them the same paperwork had no issues and was in and out within 10 mins.
– Customer
Horrible customer service in the grooming department. The groomers at Petco Hamden are rude and unprofessional.
